Ordered my Limited on 2/04/13 and it went to D status today - two days later! Hopefully this is a sign that production is preparing to ramp up and those of us in D status won't be there long before they start actually building them.

Really NO. The information there is not corroborated by the dealer experience because it does not reflect the current package availability when ordering.

For instance: I want a Limited with ORA II; Navi Lux and Tech pkgs. But I cannot get a car like that as we all know despite MILOUS's detailed post. My own opinion is that they (1) either have supply chain problems; (2) they are upselling the Jeep (as I can get all those features on an Overland - but for $2000 more) or (3) both. Maybe they decided that for 2014, the Limited model will be the...Laredo X equivalent of last year.

The moment they will post the 2014 model year configuration utility online it is probably when the pricing and supply issues will be sorted out for the remainder of the model year.

When Jeep updates their website it will most likely match what Milous has listed in post 1. So, you should be able to use it, and be ready to place your order when the options are available.

As for when Jeep will update their site, you probably have to contact someone at Jeep.

My guess ... just a guess ... February 15

Thanks for the advice. I will go take a look at the 13's to help give me an idea on some of these colors / options.

As far as pricing goes, as I have read through the many threads, it looks like I will be doing well for myself if I can find a dealer in my area that will make a deal for 2% under invoice. Has anyone been able to work free oil changes into their deals? I think some dealerships have been known to do this.

4 dealers in Baltimore area quoted me 1-2% under invoice, ALL said they would not be undersold, so there may be room for haggling. Jones Junction in Bel Air offers lifetime (probably more trouble than it's worth) oil changes and a load of other useless crapola. They are clueless on the 14's and unwilling to quote a price, steer clear.
